Award-winning Dive! takes a look at food waste in America

Have you ever met a Freegan? This months Green Thursday documentary, Dive!, will be shown tonight, (Thursday, Dec. 6) at 7 p.m. in the Willy West Community Room. The film follows dumpster divers through the back alleys and garbage receptacles of Los Angeles grocery stores as they mine trash bins for food. These dumpster divers are not homeless or even particularly poor; they just dont like to see good food go to waste, and they like to get stuff for free. Dive! is a winner of 21 awards in film festivals world-wide. The documentary combines entertainment and guerilla journalism to expose the realities of billions of pounds of food wasted in America annually, and what can be done to address the problem. Green Thursdays are free and sponsored by the City of Middleton Sustainability Committee, and free, non-dumpster dived, refreshments are provided. Willy West is located at 6825 University Ave in Middleton.
